scruffythefirst Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Took the flywheel to the engineering shop. Guy said he couldn't do it because the dowels don't line up with the clutch cover. Durrrrrr!!! Isn't that what I told him needed doing? I think so! Cambs rebores are like that..... If your still stuck for chains a couple of old seatbelts are ideal - i've seen an entire sierra suspended by a single one whilst it was bounced up and down to shake the engine out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashBangWallop Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 It WAS the owner I spoke to on the phone. Strange... when I met him this afternoon he was effing and blinding like the best of them. Obligatory topless calender in the workshop - proper smell of grease and oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashBangWallop Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 YAY!!! Phoned Cambridge Rebores just now. They are busy doing my flywheel. Re-face and all the bolt holes re-done - 78 quid +VAT. So, about 100 squids. Pick my spangley turbo up tonight and, hopefully, my new clutch and swirl-pot should be waiting for me when I get in Today is a happy day Neil Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazpowerslide Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 The smell of melted pistons draws ever closer I'll drop the chanes off this evening. Chaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashBangWallop Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Neil, can I come and watch the first time you light it....err I mean start it up? I still think that's a few weeks off yet. However, things are looking up again. The turbo is in very good condition. The guy who sold it to me was a little reluctant to have it go at the price he offered. Too late now One half of the turbo weighs as much as my whole exhaust did! What I'll gain in hp, I'll lose in extra weight Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
